abstract = {The investigation of plasma facing materials (PFM)
subjected to a large number (≥10,000) of thermal shocks is
of interest to determine long term morphological changes
which might influence component lifetime in and plasma
performance of a fusion reactor. The electron beam facility
JUDITH 2 was used to simulate these conditions
experimentally. In this study eight different tungsten
grades produced by powder injection molding (PIM) were
investigated: Two pure tungsten grades, one with 2 $wt\%$
Y2O3, three with 1, 2 and 3 $wt\%$ TiC, and two with 0.5 and
1 $wt\%$ TaC. Samples of 10 × 10 × 4 mm³ were brazed to a
copper cooling structure and subjected to 105 thermal shocks
of 0.5 ms duration and an intensity of Labs = 0.55 GW/m²
(FHF = 12 MWs½/m2) at a base temperature of Tbase =
700 °C.The PIM grades showed damages in general
comparable with a sintered and forged pure tungsten
reference grade (>99.97 $wt\%$ W) that complies with the
ITER specifications. One exception was the 2 $wt\%$ TiC
doped material which failed early during the experiment by
delamination of a large part of the surface. The Y2O3 doped
material showed a comparatively good performance with
respect to crack width (<15 μm) and roughening (Ra =
0.75 μm), but showed melt droplets of ∼3–4 μm
diameter, while the 1 $wt\%$ TiC doped material showed wide
cracks (up to 50 μm) and strong roughening (Ra =
2.5 μm). The paper discusses the post-mortem analysis of
all grades, comparing them with respect to roughness (from
laser profilometry), crack network characteristics and local
melt droplet formation or other special morphological
features (from SEM images) as well as crack depth (from
metallographic cross sections).},
